Very nice first meeting through telehealth. But excited to have future meetings in person
Jackson Aug 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★☆
the provider is nice and friendly... I am just a part of the "white hair" group that would much rather have a face to face visits. I missed my first scheduled appointment because I could not remember how to use the Zoom meeting app. (Hadn't used it since COVID). Sure it is convenient --not having to leave home -- but not as personal and caring.
